bw_create_infoarea

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description provides one behavioral trait (immediately active, no activation step). However, it does not disclose other aspects like authentication requirements, side effects (e.g., overwriting existing InfoAreas), or what happens on duplicate names. Adequate but minimal.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences with no redundancy. The first sentence states the core purpose, the second adds an important behavioral fact. Every word earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the low complexity (4 parameters, no nested objects, no output schema) and full schema descriptions, the description is mostly complete. It explains the key activation behavior. It could be enhanced by specifying what the tool returns, but for a creation tool the current level is sufficient.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already defines parameter meanings. The description adds no additional parameter-level context beyond the schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('InfoArea'), and adds a specific behavioral detail (immediately active, no activation needed), which distinguishes it from other create tools like bw_create_adso or bw_create_dtp.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, when-not-to-use, or comparison with sibling tools. The description is purely declarative.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
